springs vs swaybars - Hyundai Performance Forums

Hey all, I have a question:
Which is a better upgrade for better handling through corners?
Heavy Duty (Performance) Springs or Swaybars?
My personal preference (after reading several posts) is towards swaybars, BUT if someone could help me out here, I have about enough $ for one but not the other.
THANKS!

If you autocross, get the rear sway bar as it completely changes the way the car handles and makes it very neutral. For a street car, springs would give you the better look and a bit stiffer ride.

I do drive on streets, and I would describe my style as "Spirited to Agressive"
I do like to throw the car into corners, peaking the corners as if I were on a track.
I don't really want to roughen the ride, just stiffen the car for corners.

get swaybars.

Springs are the better choice then. I barely notice the sway bar on the street, just autocrossing, while the springs makes the car more enjoyable all the time.
